May Marks Long Island History Month!

Yep it’s a whole month dedicated to Long Island history.

It was the Nassau County Clerk, Maureen O’Connell and Suffolk County Clerk, Judith Pascale, who declared May as Long Island History Month. The two met at Oheka Castle to officially declare the month of May would be dedicated to Long Island History, in recognition of the historically rich and diverse culture preserved by the ‘Gold Coast Mansions’ situated along Long Island’s North Shore.

This announcement came as the new website, www.historiclongisland.com, was launched by the Gold Coast Mansion Alliance. The Alliance was organized by Oheka’s own, Nancy Melius-Murton.

The new site represents some of the areas most treasured properties including Oheka Castle, Old Westbury Gardens, The Vanderbilt Estate, Coe Hall, Glen Cove Mansion, Sands Point Preserve and Chelsea Mansion.

“The Historic Long Island website is a modern day means to introduce these historic sites to the world while supporting new opportunities for tourism at these Long Island destinations.”
